Gearbox shooter Duke Nukem Forever will be released in February, according to US shops.
Both Amazon and Gamestop have pegged the hotly anticipated FPS for a 1st February release (thanks Kotaku).
Gearbox labelled the dates "placeholder".
Last month 2K Games announced Borderlands creator Gearbox had assumed control of Duke Nukem Forever after more than a decade in development hell.
"We're in the polishing phase now," Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said. "This is a game where we can not make a promise we can not fulfill. We need to get past the shock and awe and then we can go to all the retailers and first parties and work out a launch plan."
Original creator 3D Realms went bust in 2009 after working on Duke Nuken Forever for hundreds of years. Publisher Take-Two sued the developer for failing to deliver the game in a reasonable time frame. They settled in May.
